16.5mm Slot Cutter HSS-Co 8 Teeth 5mm Cutting Length, Right-Hand - ALPEN-MAYKESTAG GmbH

Take advantage of a high-performance combination: HSS‑Co construction for elevated heat resistance, an 8-flute geometry for fine surface quality, and a compact cutting length for precise slotting operations—available through Metav Werkzeuge or via consultation with our technical team.

MAYKESTAG Slot cutter DIN 850 D, Type N – Ø16.5 mm, HSS‑Co, 8 flutes

The MAYKESTAG Slot cutter DIN 850 D Type N is a precision slotting tool designed for machining construction, case-hardened and quenched steels, as well as short‑chipping non‑ferrous materials in workshop and production settings

• Cobalt HSS for enhanced heat resistance
• 8 flutes for smooth surface finish
• Ø16.5 mm cutting diameter
• Cylinder shank with drive flat for secure clamping

Consistent finish and productivity for series and single-part work

The tool’s cobalt high-speed steel (HSS‑Co) composition provides improved hot hardness compared with standard high-speed steels, which enhances tool life under elevated temperatures. Combined with the 8 flutes, this geometry reduces vibration and produces a refined surface, making the cutter particularly suitable for operations that demand repeatable surface quality. The result is a reliable tool for both small batch production and individual precision tasks.

Compact design for controlled slotting and secure clamping

With an overall length of 56 mm and an 8 mm cutting length, the cutter is optimised for shallow slotting and finishing passes where rigidity matters. The 10 mm shank and cylinder shank with drive flat ensure secure clamping in standard collets and holders, lowering the risk of slippage and runout during machining. The right‑hand cutting direction conforms with standard milling spindle rotation, simplifying setup and reducing process variables.

Application range explained for reliable selection

Certified to DIN 850 D and specified as Type N, the cutter is intended for slotting tasks in construction and case-hardened steels as well as for short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals. "Short‑chipping" refers to materials that break into short, manageable chips rather than long strings; this cutter’s flute design supports efficient chip evacuation in such materials. For customers evaluating tool selection, these characteristics translate directly into fewer tool changes and lower production interruptions.

Process advantages and practical handling notes

The combination of HSS‑Co and multiple flutes balances wear resistance and surface performance, offering a cost-efficient alternative to more exotic materials where extreme temperatures or very high cutting speeds are not required. The Ø16.5 mm diameter provides a stable cutting cross-section, while the modest cutting length reduces deflection in narrow slotting operations. For best results, secure the cutter in an appropriate 10 mm holder and select feeds and speeds matching short‑chip materials and the stated tool material.

FAQ

What materials is this slot cutter suitable for?
The MAYKESTAG slot cutter DIN 850 D Type N (4117802230NW) is designed for construction, case-hardened and quenched steels, and for short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals owing to its HSS‑Co composition and flute geometry.

How should the cutter be clamped for best results?
Use a tool holder or collet compatible with a 10 mm shank and ensure the cylinder shank with drive flat is aligned to prevent rotation; this improves runout and machining stability with the MAYKESTAG slot cutter.

What performance benefits do the 8 flutes provide?
The 8 flutes reduce vibration and enhance surface finish in slotting operations, supporting a more consistent machining result and extended tool life compared with lower‑flute configurations for similar applications.

Is this cutter compliant with a standard specification?
Yes—the cutter is specified to DIN 850 D, Type N, which describes the geometry and intended use for this class of slot cutters.
